Crispy Spam Musubi Recipe

Spam musubi is a spam and rice sushi treat that is popular in Hawaii. Traditionally, it has a piece of Spam placed over a block of sticky sushi rice, wrapped together with nori. This version has an extra layer of crunchy Japanese breadcrumb coating!

COOKING PROCEDURE

Layer ¼ cup rice, a cheese strip, a Spam slice, another cheese strip, and another ¼ cup rice in a musubi mold (see tip). Press down firmly on musubi to make sure the layers hold. Unmold musubi then wrap with a nori sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 more pieces. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Place flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in separate containers. Dredge each musubi in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Deep-fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
